## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) ACCORDING TO THE CAPTAIN OF THIS FLIGHT, THE AIRPLANE WAS ON APPROACH TO RUNWAY 1 AT DCA WITH REPORTED WINDS OF 310 DEGREES AT 20 KNOTS GUSTING TO 37 KNOTS. DUE TO THE WIND CONDITION, A REDUCED FLAP SETTING (25 DEGREES) AND AN APPROACH AIRSPEED ADDITIVE OF 17 KNOTS WERE UTILIZED. THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED LIGHT TO MODERATE TURBULENCE AND AIRSPEED FLUCTUATIONS OF +/-8 TO 15 KNOTS AS THE APPROACH PROGRESSED. AT APPROXIMATELY 5 FEET ABOVE THE RUNWAY, A STRONG WIND GUST RAISED THE LEFT WING AND THE AIRCRAFT MOVED 15 FEET TO THE RIGHT OF THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE. AS A GO AROUND WAS INITIATED, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR AND THE EXTENDED RIGHT LANDING LIGHT CONTACTED THE RUNWAY. THE SECOND APPROACH AND LANDING WERE UNEVENTFUL. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING LANDING LIGHT HOUSING. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
